Buckhalter, Dawkins not practicing

Running back Correll Buckhalter (left ankle) and safety Brian Dawkins were held out of Wednesday’s practice for the Broncos.

Buckhalter was injured with just over six minutes remaining in third quarter of Sunday’s win over the Cowboys and did not return to the game. Buckhalter is not expected to play Sunday against the Patriots.

It was not yet known what Dawkins’ issue was, but he will have to be listed on the team’s injury report to the league later in the day because he did not participate in the workout.

Linebacker Spencer Larsen (shoulder) continues to be held out of practice.
